NANA AND NINA created these lovely focal pieces in bright colors, great patterns, and more muted neutrals. I would never have guessed that she was using hardware elements in these pieces if I hadn't picked them up and turned them over. These are the pieces that she displayed at the Bead&Button Show in 2017.

These components used brightly colored designs (from paper, maybe?) and had a smooth, glossy finish.The donuts used hardware store components as the base, while the rectangles were a similar grade of metal. I'm assuming Marie uses resin to achieve this look -- and to marvelous effect!
